Background

Niner's been Niner for as long as nearly anyone in the Skybox can remember. There are a few who have been boxed longer than him; a few, but not many. They might remember he was Jonah, back before the fight that cost him a finger and earned him his nickname, but it's more likely they remember the fight itself.

As the story goes, Niner was fresh out of a couple months in Solitary for breaking another kid's face. (The kid had been asking for it, him and his buddies bullying other kids out of their snack tokens, getting handsy where it wasn't welcome, and stealing whatever personal effects you couldn't nail down.) They caught him in a corridor during shift-change and, being the sorts to avoid a fair fight, made sure to slam his hand in one of the security doors before delivering their beat-down.

'Fresh out of a couple months in Solitary' is a bit of a recurring theme for Niner. Remember the time he bent that one kid's elbow backwards for being a total creeper to the girls? Or the one he nearly drowned in a mop-bucket for tormenting the new kid? The guards and their shock-batons didn't care if the other kid was a malicious asshole and had been totally asking for it. Niner was the one to start it, and therefore Niner was the one to finish it in Solitary.

For the rotten apples of the bunch, Niner was a threat or a challenge. For the more innocent ones, the second children and unlucky pranksters, the visionaries and tellers of uncomfortable truths, he could be a loyal friend and the fist they lacked.

Not a bad guy, really, for someone who'd tied his teacher to a chair and beaten him to death.

Characteristics

A Note on Roleplay Chemistry:
I play to explore characters and learn what makes them tick — and then find ways to make them suffer, of course. Drawing secrets out, learning all the little details, character evolution, that's the good stuff for me.

Also, action scenes where the aftermath and ramifications are swept aside tend to leave me clammy. I'm not saying they're bad; I'm only saying they're usually not my thing.

Also x2, I'm not the fastest poser. If you prefer fast, short poses, it's going to be tough for both of us to stay happy with a scene.

Description

He's a big one, all right; six feet or a hair more, and a hundred-ninety pounds of muscle and bone. He'd probably have played rugby, once upon a nuclear war ago, but the world had other plans.

A headful of shaggy brown hair crowns pale grey-green eyes and a broad-featured face most often settled somewhere between wariness and calm. The twitchiness of the paranoid is not his; instead, he seems content with the fact that, while little can be trusted, everything can be surmounted.

Quirks

Coverall Crew: Trained as an electrician's assistant and maintenance worker, Niner knows a bit about fixing things or taking them apart. Perhaps surprisingly, he's got a knack for the electronics involved, too.

Hooked On Fonix: Those who'd been in Skybox 'school' might remember the time he got everyone an extra-long break between classes. Granted, it was because he laid into the kid who'd been riding him about his struggling attempts to read aloud, and sure he saw Solitary for it, but hey, man. Extra break.

I Can Count To Nine: Niner lost his right pinky after getting his hand slammed in one of the Skybox's security doors. It's now a grim collection of scar tissue and knuckles that don't quite align perfectly, but it still seems to break faces just fine.

Long-Term Inmate: He was boxed when he was twelve. The halt on appeals had him halfway through his sixth year in the Skybox before he got shipped down to Earth. Routine and structure is all he's known for a long time, and it's yet to be seen how he copes with the sudden lack of it.

Possessions

- a Grounder sword with matching belt.
- a leather waterskin.
- a leather bag, usually kept strung to the belt. Big enough to hold a human head. Thankfully, does not.
- a collection of small and shiny Grounder tchotchkes strung together on a short cord.

Scars/Injuries

Six Days After Landing: Two gashes to the upper torso from a Grounder axe.
Eight(?) Days After Landing: Right arm gored twice by a cougar.

Stuff and Nonsense

Others

⊗

In search of character hooks. Niner saw most of the Delinquents arrive in the Skybox. Maybe he helped you adjust. Maybe he saw that one jerk always hassling you and ended up in Solitary after having 'words' with them. Maybe you were that jerk.

The 100

	Just what in the hell does he plan to DO with that… thing. Beast. Horse. Giant shit-machine. WHATEVER.
	Stripped some Grounder corpses down to their bare asses. She's thorough, he'll give her that.
	Swears like he's actually been laid before, and seems to be trying to get the brainiacs working together so everyone isn't sleeping under wreckage and shitting into ditches for the rest of their lives. You gotta respect a guy for that.
	Devin and Niner have known eachother for years. Being in the Skybox forever will do that to people. Maybe Niner's a good friend — or maybe Devin's just in it for the cookies Niner's grandmother brought whenever she visited. Either's possible. They're damn good cookies.
	If Niner read Stephenson, he'd recommend someone hold Faolan down and tattoo POOR IMPULSE CONTROL across his forehead. If, you know, they had tattoo guns. And Niner could read worth a damn.
	Max took the time, post-ambush, to helpfully point out to Niner that the two axe-blows to his chest ought to be treated before he tried to help others. Niner's grateful for that whole 'not bleeding to death' thing.
	Silas + Niner + dead Grounder horse = hides for Silas + meat for everyone + one massive bloody mess for Niner. He's still getting the blood out from under his fingernails.
